Thermacell Tick Control Tubes - 12, 24, or 48 pack. Labelled for Canada.

Description

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
How Tick Control Tubes Work: 1. Ticks feed on mice. 2. Tubes contain cotton
treated with permethrin insecticide. 3. Mice collect the treated cotton and use
it to line their nests. 4. Ticks feeding on the mice die.
WHERE TO APPLY
For Outdoor Application Only: Reduces ticks that feed on mice that may
serve as reservoirs for organisms causing Lyme diseasee and babesiosis.
Ticks feeding on these animals become infected and may transmit disease to
humans, dogs, and horses.
For best results, place tubes flat on the ground in all brush-covered and
wooded areas to be treated. Do not exceed the maximum distance of 10 yards
between tubes in any direction. Limit treatment areas to those areas
inhabited by mice and need not include mowed lawns or open grasslands.
Position tubes so that mice have access to the open ends. Product works best
if not covered by leaves or other material.
For Treatment Around Yards: Place tubes within 1 yard of the edge of mowed
lawn. Place tubes around the perimeter of the lawn in places with good
coverage for mice such as in flower gardens, under bushes, along fences and
stonewalls, and in wood piles and sheds wherever mice may reside. For
complete coverage, apply tubes to all brush-covered or wooded areas within
50 yards surrounding the yard area to be protected.
For Treatment of Woodlots: Place tubes in a grid pattern with no more than
10 yards between tubes in any direction. For complete coverage, apply tubes
up to the brush-covered edge surrounding wooded areas. Tubes placed near
thickets or rotting logs within the woodlot will be more effective than those
placed in more open woodland terrain.
WHEN TO APPLY
Tubes may be applied anytime between April 1 and mid-September but should
be applied at least twice a year. For best results apply in April and July just
prior to the feeding activity periods for nymphal (May-June) and larval
(August-September) ticks. Tubes may also be replaced when nesting material
is completely removed. The tubes and unused cotton are biodegradable and
may be left in the application site.

• There is no need to treat the entire property, only those places inhabited by
mice. Don’t treat mowed lawns or driveways.
• For a typical home on a quarter acre lot, six tubes will cover the mouse
habitat per application; 12 tubes are required annually.
• Yards or wooded properties with above average amounts of shrubs, tall
grass or woods may require additional tubes.
